Business & Technical problems in embedded systems
Key business needs
Cost-effectiveness in mass production
- Optimal selection of MCUs and hardware components.
- Consideration of SoC solutions like ESP32.
Design and development
Design and development of embedded devices that meet specific resource constraints, such as limited memory, processing power, and energy consumption, while also considering physical constraints like dimensions, shape, and weight.
Device reliability
Device reliability is crucial, considering:
- Extended operation without failures.
- Financial losses and reputation damage due to recalls or failures.
- Safety implications, especially in critical industries like medicine and transportation.
Regulatory compliance
Regulatory compliance across industries demands rigorous testing and validation.
Security challenges
Security challenges due to the increasing number and complexity of embedded devices, including:
- Difficulties in software updates and patching.
- Geographical distribution and authentication concerns.

Best practices & know-how
Embedded System Failure – Contrary to Device Reliability
- Robust Design: Implementing fault-tolerant measures, redundancy, error handling, and fail-safe designs to manage failures effectively.
- Systematic Testing: Comprehensive testing covering all requirements, automated where possible, including hardware-in-the-loop systems and non-functional tests like performance and security.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to industry standards to ensure high-quality and safe embedded systems.
Cost-effectiveness
Regulatory compliance
To ensure that the embedded solution meets the prescribed standards, processes for the development lifecycle (both for hardware and software) must align with the specified standards. Typically, the development lifecycle is based on the V-Model with gates that, through validation and verification steps, guarantee the expected outcome.
M2M (Machine-to-Machine communication)
A solid grasp of communication technologies and protocols is vital. Selecting the right technology and protocol hinges on project requirements and constraints. These typically include factors like data volume, distance, environmental conditions, security needs, and the number of communication nodes involved.
Definition of Requirements (Functional and Non-functional)
The process of gathering business needs and client's functional requirements. Analytical skills are necessary for understanding business needs and defining functional and technical requirements essential for feasibility study development.
Flexibility and variety of the product
- TModular design to reuse components
- Configurable modules for customization
- Utilize Test to Speech (TTS) for testing
- Automate configuration and testing during production
- Conduct end-to-end testing post-assembly.
Security
HMI (Human Machine Interface)
Market trends - Transition to Industry 4.0
